From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Today I discovered Garuda's BTRFS assistant and it's a total game changer. (gitlab.com)

Was looking at how to set up snapper on Fedora 39 and came across the ever knowledgable Stephens tech talks video. It does balance, setting up snapper, sub-volume management in a really cool GUI tool.

edit updated the link as the GitHub page was apparently ood, but it is in most repo's

Interesting, I didn't know it existed outside of Garuda. Thanks OP.

Same. I even use Garuda and I never actually touched that thing. It's all preconfigured and I just let it do it's thing.
